As of yet I haven't seen any good articles on setting up SQL server to pass through a firewall to a web server. I am using the SQLOLEDB driver and I believe SQL Server is listening on port 1433, but I can't open a connection. Where can I check SQL Server to see which port it is listening on and how do I set up my connection string to indicate which port to use? Here is a sample of my connection string:

strConn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=CONTACT;" &_
"Initial Catalog=Account; User Id=web; Password=beer"

Do I just add ":1433" to the end of the Data Source? If not how do I tell the OLE DB driver which port to use for communication?

Regards,

Jon"
